A British woman named Sarah Ezekiel, who lost her voice due to motor neuron disease, has regained her natural voice after 25 years through the use of artificial intelligence. AI tools from companies such as ElevenLabs were able to recreate her voice from just eight seconds of audio recorded on a VHS tape. This technology replaced the robotic monotone voice she previously used and enabled her to communicate more naturally via a Smartbox eye-gaze device. The case highlights emerging applications of AI in healthcare and communication for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, AI is being explored for early detection of voice box cancer and is increasingly used in therapy contexts, although experts caution about the limitations and risks of AI chatbots in mental health support.
